No parent should have to decide if they can afford to take a sick child to the doctor.

No senior should choose between medication and keeping the lights on.
But that’s exactly what’s coming unless Congress acts. We deserve better.

In less than 2 weeks, ACA subsidies expire.

Because of inaction by Republicans in Congress, premiums will double and millions will lose coverage.

Families will be forced into impossible choices.

This is a broken promise and a moral failure. We deserve better.

This is what failed leadership looks like:

❌ No plan to keep coverage affordable
❌ No urgency to protect families
❌ Political games while people’s lives hang in the balance

We need leaders in Congress who will actually fight to lower costs and protect care.

Analysts estimate tens of millions on ACA plans will face major premium spikes next year if nothing changes. For many families, that means choosing between rent, groceries, and health care.

No one should have to ask: “Do I pay for insulin or keep the lights on?”

In less than 3 weeks, enhanced ACA subsidies expire. Congress hasn’t passed an extension. The President has mostly sat out the fight.

Millions are about to see premiums more than double. Some will lose coverage entirely.

This is not theoretical. It’s a crisis in slow motion.
